He knew of the Time

EDS. hECORD- UNION. noticed IN to-
days issue that Ed. Vogel, the man that
was so severely beaten by W. Harlow at
Sullivan's saloon, the other day, claims
that he had no knowledge of the time when
the case was set for trial. His statement
is simply untrue. He did know. Several
persons heard me explain to him how i'm
portant it was for him TO be there. And
brought him from Walsh station in nv
wagon in order to have him kere at the
appointed time but when the time ar
rived he was not to be found, and l have
not seen him since. Be kind enough TO
make the correction and oblige Yours
truly, SAM. G. FOSTER. J. p.
